That's true to some extent. A crap movie is still crap in HD. Resident Evil, Alien vs Predators or Underworld (for example) would still be steaming piles of crap even if they were projected onto the side of a mountain.
But if you're watching a *good* movie, why not benefit from seeing it with the biggest screen and the highest definition you can see it in. Even older movies can benefit massively from HD in the detail they reveal. I really don't understand why a movie reviewer of all people would be against HD. Does this person derive no additional benefit from watching a movie in a theatre as opposed to on DVD?
"I have a MacBook Pro and an Xbox 360 and I would like to get a 20- to 24-inch display that will support both devices. The speakers should be inbuilt, or there should be an aux out on the display to hook up external speakers. Help! Please!"
